Elon Musk reacted to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s comments regarding the $500 billion Stargate AI project, questioning its funding. Nadella affirmed Microsoft’s investment.

Some of the biggest names in technology have clashed after President Donald Trump unveiled his $500 billion private AI investment project.

Microsoft is forming a new group focused on developing AI apps and providing tools for third-party customers, the company announced Monday.

When asked about the spat between Elon Musk and Open AI CEO Sam Altman during an interview, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella said, "All I know is, I'm good for my USD 80 billion. I’m going to spend USD 80 billion building out Azure".

Elon Musk and Sam Altman shared a longstanding feud ever since Musk, who co-founded OpenAI with Altman in 2015, split from the company.

CEO Satya Nadella is one executive who is publicly praising the potential for AI agents. But could Nadella's recent comments about AI agents mean huge trouble for two stocks -- Fiverr (NYSE: FVRR) and Upwork (NASDAQ: UPWK)?

Satya Nadella replied to Elon Musk's X post, saying, “And all this money is not about hyping AI, but is about building useful things for the real world."

The Information claims that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was forced to make a decision in the middle of the pandemic regarding their gaming business. In 2021, the company was already pushing their Game Pass subscription business, but Satya was seriously considering closing their gaming business in general.

As 2024 was drawing to a close, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman faced two major problems. He wasn’t getting enough server capacity from Microsoft, his company’s biggest backer, to stay ahead of rivals developing artificial intelligence.

Elon Musk is clashing with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over the Stargate artificial intelligence infrastructure project touted by President Donald Trump, the latest in a feud between the two tech billionaires that started on OpenAI’s board and is now testing Musk’s influence with the new president.

Young, who worked out of San Francisco, was among Microsoft's top executives, named in regulatory filings alongside CEO Satya Nadella, President Brad Smith, Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood, Chief Commercial Officer Judson Althoff, Chief Marketing Officer Takeshi Numoto and Chief Human Resources Office Kathleen Hogan.
